Aces Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 The Economist (print edition) has a good article on managed care.....which the states are increasingly turning to to save money. The outcome is still unknown but more and more states are going this way http://www.economist.com/node/21531491 " Medicaid beneficiaries are vulnerable, in worse health than Americans as a whole. Companies may struggle to cut costs and provide good care as well. If states do not draft their contracts properly, or fail to be vigilant in monitoring patients’ health, their experiment in managed care could be a disaster. On the other hand, if states are careful they could provide an answer to the question that has vexed America for years: how to provide good, cheap health care."
